I currently have a slightly psychotic hercules monitor. I'd like to use the windows/code view combination, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it - been developing with toolbook (choke! puke! dBase DLL needs a visit from an exterminator) and actor, and I'd like to move into some sort of OO C environment. Anyway, heres the plan now ... DFI VGA card with Trident chipset + 512k of ram - where I shop these things are $104. Not as cool as the orchid card, but 50% of the cost. NEC multisync 3D. I've seen these in use, and like 'em a lot. If theres something cheap that works as well, I'd go for it, but I've found skimping on hardware always bites you in the ass, sooner or later. If you've had a bad experience with either of these devices, or think you know something better, mail me. If you sell either of these units (prefer new /w warantee), don't hesitate to mail me a quote. -- Neal i1neal@exnet.iastate.edu "A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking (meant) for others!" - Donatien-Alphonse-Francois de Sade This line intentionally left blank.
